re: Bama a team divided?

Why does bama have half of their students from out of state ?

Probably because they care about diversity, and don't want to have an almost all-white, all local student body like Auburn.

Amen brother "Eddie Lacy" Alabama fans don't get to butthurt over the race thing. It's really not your fault your school is the most racist school in America it's been going on before a lot of u was born!

The fact that I'm here, still posting, still representing the University of Alabama for almost 3 years disproves your fact. Alabama is not the most racist school in America. It simply isn't true. I came to this school back in 2011 not know what to expect. The people that I've gotten to know over the years-both black and white-are some of the nicest, kindest, most intelligent people I have ever met. In their own way they have shaped and molded me to become the person I am today. YES there are still racial problems. I'm not going to ignore the shite that happened in the sororities last year, (I'm kind of glad it DID happen). However these types of things happen not only all around the South, but all around the Nation. I also know that both you and the other posters who bring this racist garbage up are full of shite. I bet you wouldn't acknowledge or even recognize some of the acts of racism that occurs at LSU, unless someone called a black person a ****. And believe me, these things happen all.The.fricking.TIME. So don’t even try to acknowledge that you understand what is going on, because you don’t. All you are trying to do is find yet another way to bring Bama down, and make your school and football team look better by comparison. How stupid is that? You think out of state kids like, Landon, Amari, Trent, Mark, Derrick, and Christian would’ve come to Alabama if it was racist? You think all of the black professors, factually and staff (which UA has one of the highest number of in the country) would chose to work here. You think the number national merit scholars, (which UA DOES have the highest number of in the entire country) would chose to come here if they though Alabama is racist? The answer is no. So please, don’t go around spouting this untrue racist garbage, because you are only making yourself look bad.



Oh, and 21-0. Roll Damn Tide.

B.S, it is because they have to go out of state to pull in the better students, because quality instate students are going elsewhere. The competition for out of state quality non-minority students with average to high test scores is less than the high score minority student from in state. If you are a BHM HS minority student with a 32+ ACT score, would you go to AU or Alabama ?

TigerNMiami called. He wants his delusion back.

If you score a 32 on your ACT, I'm pretty sure you're not going to any school in Alabama.

I roomed with a pretty smart black guy that was from Hoover during my second year at UA.

You're a douche.

But damn, that was funny.

We've just about beaten this dead horse into oblivion, but I did want to correct this misperception:

For those of you who are truly interested in the demographics of your respective alma maters (and frankly, I don't really understand why any sidewalk alum would give a damn about this stuff in the first place), you should Google the OIRA pages for each school and look for yourself. While UA does have a significantly higher percentage of students of African-American heritage than AU, the two schools percentage of Caucasian-Americans are virtually identical, year in and year out. In Fall 2013 AU was only slightly whiter than UA: 81.2% to 81.0% (that's total enrolment on each school's main campus, including graduate and other professional students). Bama did attract a more geographically diverse undergraduate student body, with only 53.6% in-state enrolees, compared to AU's 62.5%, but these numbers are far below what they were as recently as 20 years ago.

Interesting stuff, if you're into this sort of thing. I still say the tweet in the OP is bogus.

Why did Alabama even offer Blake Sims in the first place? Career backup or did they think he could be a legit starter one day?
